.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ypbind
|
|
.Nd create and maintain a binding to a YP server
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm ypbind
|
|
.Op Fl ypset
|
|
.Nm ypbind
|
|
.Op Fl ypsetme
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Ypbind
|
|
finds the server for a particular YP domain and stores information about it
|
|
in a
|
|
.Pa binding file.
|
|
This binding information includes the IP address of the server associated with
|
|
that particular domain and which port the server is using. This information
|
|
is stored in the directory
|
|
.Pa /var/yp/binding
|
|
in a file named with the convention
|
|
.Pa domainname.version.
|
|
(The YP system only supplies information on version 2.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm ypbind
|
|
starts, it broadcasts looking for a process willing to serve maps for the
|
|
client's domain. Once a binding is established,
|
|
.Nm ypbind
|
|
maintains this binding by periodically communicating with the server to which
|
|
it is bound. If the binding is somehow lost, e.g by server reboot,
|
|
.Nm ypbind
|
|
marks the domain as unbound and attempts to re-establish the binding.
|
|
When the binding is once again successful,
|
|
.Nm ypbind
|
|
marks the domain as bound and resumes its periodic check.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl ypset
|
|
.Xr ypset 8
|
|
may be used to change the server to which a domain is bound.
|
|
.It Fl ypsetme
|
|
.Xr ypset 8
|
|
may be used only from this machine to change the server
|
|
to which a domain is bound.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl ypset
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl ypsetme
|
|
options are dangerous and should be avoided.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the directory
|
|
.Pa /var/yp
|
|
exists, YP is started automatically at boot time by
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc .
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Pa /var/yp/bindings/domainname.version
|
|
- binding file for domainname
